Butler is healthy after tearing an ACL while playing for the Mavericks last season. He has become one of the most pursued players as free agency approaches and would prefer to sign with the Bulls, but would have to accept less money to play in Chicago, according to Yahoo! Sports.

He also, according to Yahoo, is intrigued by the Clippers.

“He sees the Clippers with a more stable foundation of players,” a source familiar with Butler’s thinking told Yahoo. “He isn’t sure about Deron Williams’ future in New Jersey, and having a chance to win will be a big part of this.”

Butler, as noted by NBA.com, would fit in well with the Spurs, who are priming for another title run as Tim Duncan's career winds down.

Butler could also return to the Mavericks, with whom he averaged 15.0 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 2010-11, but the defending champs are, according to multiple reports, shying away from paying the luxury tax as they've done in seasons past.
